The Dillard theme is named after Annie Dillard, whose writings, including The Pilgrim at Tinker’s Creek (1975) and For the Time Being (1999) helped define a new kind of narrative non-fiction, mixing deeply personal, poetic observations with natural history.
The Dillard theme is airy and light, with some design elements, and is made for narrative non-fiction, but can serve equally well for a range of fiction and non-fiction genres, including literary fiction, historical fiction, romance, and memoir.
